Local Governments for Sustainability (Indonesia)

ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability is a global network working with more than 2,500 local and regional governments committed to sustainable urban development. Active in 125+ countries, we influence sustainability policy and drive local action for low emission, nature-based, equitable, resilient and circular development. Our Members and team of experts work together through peer exchange, partnerships and capacity building to create systemic change for urban sustainability.

ICLEI Southeast Asia Secretariat (ICLEI SEAS), based in Manila, Philippines, currently serves ICLEI Members in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Established in 1999, ICLEI SEAS began its work in the region with the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) campaign in the Philippines, which was expanded to Thailand and Indonesia in 2002. Since then, ICLEI Membership has grown rapidly in these three countries, leading to the establishment of the Indonesia Office in 2013 and adding Malaysia into the fold in 2014. In 2016, ICLEI SEAS started its presence in Vietnam and Laos.
